Ghost detainees

The Boston Globe's online paper has an article on the "ghost detainees"--detainees hidden from the Red Cross. According to the paper, Lynndie England's testimony supports other reports that specific detainees were hidden from Red Cross inspectors (a crime under international law). It strikes me as highly hypocritical that Shrub and his fellow felons constantly claim to be making the world safe for democracy and the rule of law while openly flouting all laws.
